The unusual method David Haye's trainer is using to help him prepare for his fight against Arnold Gjergjaj

David Haye is preparing to face Arnold Gjergjaj and trainer Shane McGuigan has gone shoe-shopping as a result...

Former world heavyweight champion Haye (27-2-KO25) returned to action in January by stopping Mark de Mori and is set to face Gjergjaj (29-0-KO21) at The O2 on May 21.

Haye's former trainer Adam Booth famously used a pair of platform shoes ahead of his 2009 world title victory over Nikolay Valuev - and McGuigan has taken up the mantle.
